5 of the first 8 games are on the road.....Our season might be over before the half again. DAMN what a terrible, unfair, schedule.
That's not too bad. The average should be 4 out of the first 8.
-9fA
Week 1: @ Seattle. It is tough to play in that artificially loud stadium. Remember, we lost there and the first game was awfully close until the P Willy broke-back Hassebeck play.
Week 2: Home game, but against the super bowl champs, the Saints. Tough game.
Week 3: @ Chiefs. We have historically been awful at KC, but, definitely a very winnable game.
Week 4: @ Atl. They thrashed us at home last year.
Week 5: Home against the Eagles, which will be a tough game. They always had our number. Hopefully without DNabb they are inept.
Week 6; RAdiers, this should be a rout.
Week 7: @ carolina. They will be tough on the road.
Week 8: London game in Bronco. Who knows how we will play over there. At least we'll be the main game on FOX.
This is a tough first half. If we don't be careful, we could be looking at 4-4 or 3-5. Hopefully we can steal a game vs the Saints or the Eagles.
Don't let the "easy schedule" thing fool you. We have 6 games against NFC West Opponents which makes our schedule appear to be easy. Division games are close and our non division opponents are playoff contenders. (we should beat Raiders, Chiefs, and Buccaneers. Every team is a challenge. This is the NFL. I want every advantage we can get.
I just like to have every advantage we can get.
Actually, the Willis smashing hasselbeck play was at Candlestick, lol I was in the endzone it happened. Home Opener. We lost up there after Gore fumbled on a drive in the 4th qrt. and after Keith Smith got burned.

49er's definitely got some national exposure concessions for accepting the London "home" game vs. Denver, but the league did us no favors with the first 5-6 weeks. Saints on MNF at home and the Eagles (even w/o McNabb) are rough starters, to go with 3 of our first 4 on the road. Atlanta on the road is nauseating as well. Don't like our short week opponents either. And no one is excited about traveling to Green Bay in early December. And who wants to be in St. Louis for X-mas? Feel bad for the players.
But I agree with you all that the second half of the season lays out much better (barring injuries, arrests, firings, acts of God, etc) for us. I think that the NFL is talking with the NCAA to possibly meld the NFC West into the Pac 10. Weak division this year, so the moment is ripe for the 49er's to take advantage (10-6).
